Live Turmeric Plant (Curcuma longa)
Bring the ancient power of turmeric into your garden with a live turmeric plant, ready to grow and thrive in warm, frost-free conditions.
Turmeric has been cultivated for thousands of years for its vibrant orange rhizomes, valued in cooking, traditional medicine, and natural wellness. Growing your own turmeric allows you to harvest fresh, aromatic roots straight from the soil — far more potent than dried store-bought powder.
This plant is easy to grow, making it ideal for home gardens, food forests, permaculture systems, or large containers. With lush green foliage and a tropical growth habit, turmeric is both functional and ornamental.
